The Biden Administration is preparing to send millions of doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to other nations. The FDA has not yet approved AstraZenca’s vaccine for injections in the US, and enough of the three approved vaccines are likely to be delivered before May 31 to jab every American who wants a...
Ventilators
COVID-19 patients in American hospitals has surpassed 100,000 for the first time as supply networks will be attacked by gangsters hijacking supplies, and there will inevitably be the problems of guaranteed purity and authenticity. Distribution will get compromised and regulation will be stressed. CNN: The United States reported at least...
Trump and his supporters are such dupes that rather than taking a village, it may take a dominatrix to de-program Trumpists: But up until recently, there’s one group of potential Biden voters who have not been the subject of voter outreach: kinky, submissive male Trump supporters with humiliation fetishes. Now,...
Some very encouraging news today out of Iowa: x It's a close one in Iowa. Our new @RABAresearch statewide poll shows @JoeBiden with a 2 point edge over @realDonaldTrump. Tonight at 5pm– @realDonaldTrump approval numbers in Iowa. https://t.co/osF4c4G4mT— Dave Price (@idaveprice) September 30, 2020 Former Vice President Joe Biden leads...
Even the pandemic and Kushner’s role in the connections to Russia demonstrate how much the Kremlin remains operative in WH decision-making. If nothing else, the GOP platform is attracted to one strong-man, one-party rule. x 😳 The GOP just announced that there is no 2020 platform this year other than...
Russian ICU ventilators in the news is not the important aspect of a story about Alexei Navalny perhaps being poisoned before a flight. It is that one of Putin’s more public critics reminds us how it still goes to the strange connection to US sanctions and the Trump administration to Russian...
Trump just said, and I quote: “absentee good, mail-in very very bad.” (Orange man… bad) President Donald Trump said the quiet part out loud, admitting he’s intentionally withholding money from the U.S. Postal Service to undermine its ability to handle mail-in voting in the 2020 election. “They need that money in...
“To Joe, I would say stop playing politics with the virus. Too serious. Partisan politics has no place here,” the president says while delivering an attack on his election opponent from the White House briefing room. Expect a brag on the Israel UAE agreement, a dodge on sabotaging the postal service,...
Another stunt to keep Trump in the news on a Saturday, because he’s losing. Yesterday’s presser at his golf club was such a joke, this one shouldn’t even be covered, since it’s really coordinated with a Trump fundraiser. Wimp of Wall Street. No, Democrats aren’t cheating in the election by...
There will be legacies. x I appreciate the retweets, over 21,000.. Mrs Thomas was apparently a true patriot.. I believe all of the 100,000 likes will be thinking of her! IâÂÂve told my husband to do the same for me if I pass before the election.. R.I.P. Mrs Thomas ðÂÂÂðÂÂȉ¤ï¸Âðºð¸ðÂÂÂâÂÂ...
Seriously. That’s the point of this Washington Post op ed today. There is a LOT of delicious satire in the piece, including a link to a piece in May by Andy Borowitz suggesting that Dr. Fauci wanted Trump to play MORE, not less, golf. But then Milbank gets semi-serious. He...
Trump shows up late again and repeats the same spin, not acknowledging the lead in deaths. The real headlines will come from more Trump mistakes, like well-wishing Ghislaine Maxwell and mentioning Prince Andrew, as well as continuing the same campaign speech lies. x Also, without watching this presser, I've deduced...
Remember when a dyspeptic, misspelled, barely comprehensible tweet sent GOPsters near and far scurrying for cover? Are those days over? Because Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan sure doesn’t sound like he’s scared of the ocher abomination. In a new Washington Post op-ed, Hogan blasts Trump and his administration over our nation’s...
Today’s Trump WH presser apparently repurposed his canceled NH campaign speech of 50 minutes, and took 10 minutes of questions. Waste not, want not. Who wants that hour back: Trump produced more gibberish and barely mentioned the COVID19 pandemic, and spent most of his time attacking Biden. Even Daniel Dale, CNN’s...
Turns out George Orwell lacked imagination. Donald Trump has already decried our robust (er, 23rd-ranked by number of tests per capita, but who’s counting?) testing regime because it makes him look bad. He’s said that if we didn’t test we’d have very few cases. Which sort of makes sense if...
After yesterday’s screed on the leftist boogeymen, tonight should lean toward jingoism with the Trumpian cultural economy of bread and circuses. IMPOTUS* claims that he will speak at 7pm ET. x President Trump promises a âÂÂspecial eveningâ in Washington including a speech, a military flyover and an enormous fireworks display....
Giveaways and disinfecting you if you’re one of the lucky 3,000 who will experience the Trump megachuch remarks. This happens after visiting the 3 new miles of wall and the 197 miles of replacement wall at the southern border. Likely more Leni Riefenstahl clips as the last time he visited the...
488 of his Marine One flights were transport to a Trump brand golf course or a rally. x Pres Trump has arrived at his golf club in Sterling, VA. By my count it's his 79th time there, second only to his 83 visits to his golf club in West Palm...
Apparently the killer of George Floyd previously shot and killed a civilian while on duty. Asked about the death of George Floyd at the hands of police in Minnesota, Pres Trump called it "a very very sad event." He said he expects to receive a full report on the incident...
Memorial Day is hard anytime. A time of rememberance and for military and vet families, it is very hard along with many holidays. This year is even more trying. We have more soldiers in the healthcare industry who have died on the front lines of trying to save lives and...
Oh really? When asked how President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic might impact her reelection race, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst was confident his response to the public health crisis will help her secure a second term. “I think the president has actually handled it quite well, so I...
Trump tells an African-American Roundtable “What do you have to lose”. President Donald Trump said African American residents were experiencing historic economic prosperity before “we had the plague flow in from China” and disproportionately impact minority communities. Trump convened administration officials, local elected leaders and Detroit-area business owners at Ford...
Are Fox News personalities in such a hermetically closed off alternate universe that they’re literally unaware of the daily fire hose of bullshit coming from the White House on all things COVID-19? If Donald Trump could make you believe that he’s cast all the remaining coronavirus in the world into George...
Absentee voting, which Trump and his family utilize every year, is critical during a pandemic. However, Trump just told the states of Nevada and Michigan that he is perfectly fine with thousands suffering and dying from the coronavirus because he plans to deliberately withhold needed aid to any state that expands absentee...
Big news today out of Colorado: x Our small businesses, workers, and families are hurting. @JoeBiden is the leader we need to fight for them, and that's why I'm supporting his campaign. https://t.co/uYZcM9lt7Kâ” John Hickenlooper (@Hickenlooper) May 15, 2020 Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) endorsed Joe Biden’s White House bid, becoming the...
People have now discovered that the Obama administration left the Trump administration a detailed pandemic response playbook, so there’s only one thing to do: Release the lying monkeys! Lie, my pretties! Lie! Trump and Kayleigh McEnany are now trying to dismiss the pandemic response plan Obama left for Trump as...
Senator Bernie Sanders asked a question that should be simple to answer. In any humane society with a humane healthcare system, without thinking, any administration official would simply answer yes. In healthcare, the answer should be an easy ‘yes’ on this one. Watch our full episodes here. Senator Sanders asked a...
Elizabeth Spiers, who now serves as chief executive of the Insurrection, a progressive digital messaging firm, once worked for Jared Kushner as editor-in-chief of the New York Observer, a newspaper Boy Kush purchased when he was a callow 25-year-old — much younger, though equally as naive and gormless, as the callow 39-year-old...
There could be a moment where the death toll could become a 9/11 every day, resulting in carnage that was avoidable. It is about keeping numbers down, aided by testing undercounts and shortfalls in testing at the state level, while promising a vaccine “miracle” in time for election day. Trump has...
We will never ever know if Trump or Pence has tested positive or negative regarding Covid19. They lie about everything and unless they both end up hospitalized in ICU and on ventilators, they will always say they test negative. They will say that because unlike Boris in UK, our constitution...
There’s only six months left in ‘Trump Time’, so the continuum is still safe, so far. Profiteering and looting might be less safe in the interim. Already under fire for his role atop a shadow task force aiding the administration’s response to the coronavirus, senior White House aide Jared Kushner is now being handed...
Live Blog below It wound up being the same as the COVID Taskforce briefing, turning into a campaign speech with the same talking points, mentioning Biden more, and lying about causes of the COVID contagion. 4:00 PM EDT half-hour late, lasts about an hour with questions President Trump Delivers Remarks...
Who goes to boring zombie apocalypse movies, or even the Zombieland sequel? It only makes sense if you lift COVID restrictions and see such movies within a sanctuary city, because Trump wants to shake them down for federal aid. It’s the same deal Trump offered Ukraine. Darn those “brute but stupid” enemies....
Early in this crisis, Trump promoted the notion that COVID-19 would “wash over” the US population “like the flu”. He did that while still doing lip service / happy talk about testing, ventilators, and bed numbers. Fox News still manages to find people who are OK with a much higher mortality rate closer to that...
LIVE BLOG below 5:30* PM EDT *(rarely starts on time) Members of the Coronavirus Task Force Hold a Press Briefing The White House Trump may try to double down today, perhaps with some attempt at “sarcasm” in a specific attack on reporters. He may simply cut his losses and even let...

Shakedowns of materiel like PPEs that demonstrate abuses of federal power are now de rigueur and should not be confused with fiscal policy or even neoliberal austerity. Disaster hides much venality. It’s about rank kleptocratic crony-capitalism in the form of market-cornering or cartelization. For example, Trump’s brag about ventilators is no different than...
Grampa Rage Diapers was in fine fettle today. His conspiracy antennae were tumescent with a throbbing, otherworldly sixth sense, leading him to wonder why on earth anyone would want millions of COVID-19 tests unless it was all part of some elaborate plot to keep him from being pr*sident. (second tweet) x Trump suggests...

During the middle of the worst pandemic in our nation’s history, where hospitals don’t have enough ventilators to treat patients, where the dead are being piled up in hallways, right-wing organizations have decided this is the perfect time to organize astro-turf protests to infect more people. The protests have a lot of...
2016 remains the touchstone for the 2020 anti-government antics, and Trump is King Boogaloo of the Ventilators. The recent protests, however small are a sign of cosplay to come. The Trump daily briefings are now his own drag queen story hour for sheeple herd immunity. If Trump were your wacky half friend...
A phalanx of supposed adults assembled in Brookfield, Wisconsin, yesterday to protest Gov. Tony Evers’ Safer at Home policy. They stood shoulder to shoulder, and there appeared to be far more pro-Trump signs than masks. (If I were a Trump supporter I’d wear a mask even if we weren’t in the...
…Fear will keep the local systems in line.” By his own admission, Trump is always fighting someone on behalf of Americans — Congress, scientists, courts, foreign countries, Democrats, even his own government. But never has he engaged in a prolonged dispute with nearly all of the nation’s governors. https://t.co/rpdHxLyCpe —...
Kudos to Matthew Chapman at Raw Story for catching this: On Friday, Sen. Martha McSally (R-AZ), a vulnerable senator facing re-election in November, posted a tweet lavishing President Donald Trump with praise for shipping ventilators to Arizona from the Strategic National Stockpile: x Huge news for Arizona! I spoke with...
I spoke to my brother this morning by phone because he is currently recovering from COVID-19 related pneumonia and I cannot visit him. My nephew is in the last four days of his quarantine in Georgia where he serves as a member of the U.S. Army. My sister works as...
